Choosing the right pair of sunglasses can be a daunting task, especially when there are so many different shapes and styles available. But did you know that your face shape can play a big role in determining which sunglasses will look best on you? Here's an expert guide on how to choose the right sunglasses for your face shape - so you can look and feel your best in the sun.
Oval Face
Considered the most common face shape, it is characterized with being longer than it is wide, with a forehead that is usually the widest part. It is considered the most versatile face shape! If you have an oval face shape, you're in luck – you can pull off almost any shape of sunglasses! Look for frames that are proportional to your face, and try out different styles to see what looks best. Neven Eyewear's Legends collection or Mattex collection contain sunglass styles which are great options for those with an oval face.
Round Face
Moving on to round face shape; angular or square-shaped sunglasses can help balance out the curves of your face. Look for frames that are wider than your face, such as rectangular or wayfarer styles. Neven Eyewear's Rosco, Doc Robbins or Mattex styles are great options for those with a round face.
Square Face
If you have a square face shape, round or oval-shaped sunglasses can help soften your features. Look for frames that have softer edges and curves, such as aviator or round styles. Neven Eyewear's Hudson, Zoe or Bondi styles are great options for those with a square face.
Heart-Shaped Face
For those who have a heart-shaped face, look for frames that are wider at the bottom than the top, such as cat-eye or wayfarer styles. Avoid sunglasses that are too narrow, as they can make your forehead look wider. Neven Eyewear's The Cape, Rosco or After Hours styles are great options for those with a heart-shaped face.
Diamond-Shaped Face
Considered the rarest face shape, if you have a diamond-shaped face, look for sunglasses that have soft curves and gentle angles, such as aviator or cat-eye styles. Again, you'll want to avoid sunglasses that are too narrow; they can make your cheekbones look wider. Neven Eyewear's Husdon, After Hours or The Cape styles are great options for those with a diamond-shaped face.
What to leave with
No matter what your face shape is, finding the right pair of sunglasses can enhance your look and protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays. With a large variety of sunglass shapes and styles to choose from, Neven Eyewear has the perfect pair of sunglasses to complement your unique features and style.
